[Minghui.org] Portugal: Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day

 May 24, 2024 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Portugal

Practitioners held group practice and a banner exhibition in the Park of the Nations to introduce Falun Dafa and inform passersby about the ongoing persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They also distributed leaflets and collected signatures for a petition calling to end the persecution in China.

(Minghui.org) May 13, 2024, was the 25th World Falun Dafa Day and the 32nd anniversary of Falun Dafa’s introduction to the public. Falun Gong practitioners in Portugal gathered in Lisbon to celebrate the day and extend their deep gratitude to the founder of the practice, Mr. Li Hongzhi.

Falun Gong has benefited over 100 million practitioners around the world since it was first introduced to the public in China in 1992. The profound core principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance encourage practitioners to become better people, and the practice has undeniable health benefits.

Practitioners have peacefully protested and raised awareness about the persecution of practitioners in China throughout the years. They hope that more people can come to know about the CCP’s brutal human rights atrocities and learn about the beauty of Falun Dafa.

A woman who had been passing by the banner exhibition said that she had learned about Falun Gong in Germany 10 years ago and was very impressed by practitioners’ perseverance in telling people about Falun Gong and the persecution.

Maria de Fátima Machado works in a factory and seldom goes to the city, but she happened to be in Lisbon for a medical appointment. She was happy she had passed by the practitioners booth. After learning about the practice and the ongoing persecution in China, she signed the petition to show her support.

Businesswoman Felizbela Martins and her husband signed the petition. They both agreed that the CCP’s crimes are heinous.

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

[Minghui.org] Lisbon, Portugal: Raising Awareness of the Persecution of Falun Dafa in China

 May 5, 2024 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Portugal

After learning about the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) and the extent of the persecution, some visitors expressed their admiration; others, sadness; and still others, solidarity and encouragement. Many people signed the petition and said they would like to help practitioners end the persecution.

(Minghui.org) In the Parque das Nações (Park of Nations), formerly Expo 98, in Lisbon, practitioners held activities on April 25, 27, and 28, 2024, to introduce Falun Dafa and raise awareness of the persecution of the spiritual practice in China. They peacefully protested in front of the Chinese Embassy on April 26 to commemorate the peaceful appeal in Beijing, China, on April 25 a quarter of a century ago.

The Park of Nations is a very popular place. Practitioners set up banners and display boards about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. They also distributed fliers to and collected signatures from the many tourists and residents who stopped to read the information and talk to them.

They told people about how, on April 25, 1999, around 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners gathered at the Appeals Office of the State Council in Beijing and called for the release of 45 practitioners detained by the Tianjin police. They also called on the government to allow Falun Gong books to be published and for practitioners to be able to practice Falun Gong openly. During the appeal, the whole world saw how peaceful Falun Gong practitioners were and how they held themselves to high moral standards. It was regarded as the largest and most orderly appeal in Chinese history.
